I'm surprised there has been this much debate over what makes a first-person shooter. I thought this would be one of the easier genres to define. I can't wait 'til we get to the top 10 adventure games or action games!

Loved that game at the time. The guns had such a heavy kick to them, and the sound effects for them were ridiculously good. I think it was one of the first games to have proper destructible scenery too. Pretty sure Edge described it as "Gun Porn" at the time.

Shame the ending was clearly rushed/cut as it literally just.... ends.

I bought it on PS3 launch day, the next day I was playing an online FPS for the very first time. I liked the quirky British sci-fi story and setting and the game itself was grand. I collected all the tapes(?) and the back story was cool. A nice cliff-hanger ending and everything was set for a sequel. Such a shame they panicked and rebooted the series with the generic dog-turd that was Resistance 2. Oh well.
